Edgetek™ PK PEEK Formulations Can Polyketone (PK) Materials Provide an Alternative to Polyoxymethylene (POM)?

Thermally stable Edgetek PK, with its excellent UV resistance, high purity and light weight, is an excellent high strength alternative to fluoropolymers.

Overview of performance and sustainability benefits of these glass-filled, polyketone (PK) materials for healthcare   Edgetek™ PK PEEK Formulation improved strength, stiffness and stability for piston ring and connecting rod on power tool Glass-reinforced polyketone (PK) thermoplastics offer chemically resistant and eco-conscious alternatives to nylon

The Solution Avient developed a new technology suite that uses specialty engineered polyketone (PK) thermoplastics and helps our customers meet their goals to lower the carbon footprint of their products versus traditional materials, like PA66 and PA6. The Impact The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) than nylon and POM.

For example, the Edgetek PKE series consists of specialty engineered polyketone (PK) 59 thermoplastics designed to offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-competitive, and eco-conscious alternative to traditional nylons (PA66 and PA6). Additionally, the PK base resin significantly reduces the carbon footprint, emitting up to 61% less CO₂ than nylon production, enhancing sustainability throughout the product lifecycle.
